text_original: The sons of Katharine had died in infancy, and Mary was the only heir of the English throne ; it was a matter of importance to the future of England that the succession to the throne should be clearly established. If Henry had remained attached to his wife this consideration would not have been put forward ; but Henry was never famed for constancy. He was in the prime of life, while Katharine was over forty.
